Surprising result for the USWNT at the start of the SheBelieves Cup tournament, as they were unable to make a difference against their similar Czech Republic in a match that ended 0-0.
And it is that we remember that the United States came to this tournament surrounded by controversy because the technical director, Vlatko Andonovski had decided not to summon crucial players such as Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe, Christen Press and Tobin Heath and instead, summon young soccer players and being able to test them in a more demanding scenario than the usual camps where the new faces of the USWNT usually concentrate.
It should also be noted that the rivals, we are talking about the Czech Republic, are going through a good football moment. Well, they had managed to draw twice with the Netherlands in recent months and on the other hand, the vast majority of the players in this USWNT had not seen action on the courts since November.
It was 90 minutes of very even football between both teams and even the game had periods where absolutely nothing happened to it, which, without a doubt, will make it a totally forgettable match, especially for the great USWNT fans who obviously she is not at all happy with the result obtained and for which, they blame Andonovski for not summoning the veteran players of the squad.
However, not everything was bad tonight, because one of the veteran players and one of the most important in this squad was present in this match and it is nothing more and nothing less than Becky Sauerbrunn who celebrated her 200 official appearances with the United States National Team. Catapulting and reaffirming her status as one of the best defenders the USWNT has had in its history.
On the other hand, while Sauerbrunn was celebrating his 200 appearances, Trinity Rodman was celebrating his first appearance with the Senior National Team. Rodman is considered one of America’s biggest prospects and is currently the highest paid player in the NWSL. Which can give us clues to the great story that she may be about to write.
